Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to set up machine components using appropriate machines. Tooling might need to be re-sharpened but not ground up from a blank. The setting for the machines are calculated by the individual from given formulas, surface speeds and feed rates.

This unit describes entry-level skills and knowledge in preparation for employment within the metal, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries and is suitable for use in institutional-based vocational programs. Skills development takes place under direct supervision.

It is not to be used in a traineeship or apprenticeship training program or associated qualifications. It is only to be used in employment preparation programs and carries no direct credit towards apprenticeship/trade and other qualification types in manufacturing and engineering.

This skills in this unit are intended to be developed in combination with the project unit, MEMPE006 Undertake a basic engineering project.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
